Chicago Friends Elrnestly Pushing Petitions

States Attorney Grinnsll Can Find no Reason

The Matter Rests Entirely With the Gov

Shrieks for Vengeance.

New YORK, September 18.-George A.
Schilling, of Chicago, was present at the
Central Labor Unions meeting to-day, and
was desirous of presenting the case of the
condemned anarchists to the body, with
the view Of enlisting the Union laborers in
behalf OF the convicted, but interior dis
putes prevented the visitor from carrying
out his mission, The schism between the
progressive labor party (socialists) and the
George people broke out and caused a
great uproar, Matthew Mari, of the Iron
and Sheet Iron Workers, presided. There
were about 200 delegates present at roll
call. Mr.. SchilliDg was special guest"
Before the meeting petition, signed by
dozen representative labor organization
men, including Samuel Gompers, President
of the Federation of Trades, and James F.
Quinn, Master Workman of District As
sembly No. 40 Knights of Labor, expressing
sy mpathy with the condemned, was pre-
pared.
Delegate Johnson, of the Industrial
League, arose, efter the transaction of
some routine business, and stated that
q committee OF one from Chicago,
desired to be heard on matter
of great importance to the working people
of the entire country. Before Johnson got
through, another delegate claimed that a
resolution that was in regular order had
been over looked. Mr.. Johnson withdrew
temporarily and the Socialists were dumb
founded to hear Ed Coughlin, of the Pro-
gressive painters, offer resolution to the
effect that the Central Labor Union should
refuse TO allow its name to be used by any
political body.
The Socialists felt the blow aimed at
them, and the Georgites cheered wildly.
Disturbance reigned for nearly ten minutes
when q motion to table the motion was de-
clared lost amid vigorous opposition. Mr..
Enrich, OF the Furniture Workers Union,
delegates ought to be glad that political
party that would take up the principles of
the Central Labor Union had been found.
Hugh Whooriskey made a row by moving
the previous question, and Enrich called
him coward for so doing. "Your position
will lot stand debate" cried Enrich.
The resolution was adopted by 50 to A,
whereupon the defeated progressives set
up q cheer of defiance. Equally hearty
cheers for the United Labor party were
given In response and the meeting sd
journed without offering a chance to
Schilllng to be heard.
Mr.. SchillIng afterwards said that he
was not discouraged by the rumpus. as he
had been ass ured that all the delegates
were in accord with his nission-thst of
obtaining justice for our friends In Chi.
cago." Capt. Black, Schilling added, will
come 10 New York from Ottawa, on Tues
day, and I'VE shall then have q conference
with Gen. Pryor and another gentleman
whose name l am not at liberty to give"

The Yelled Prophet.

ct. LOUIS, September 19.-The Yelled
Prophets parade this year will represent
prominent events and scenes taken from
the Bible. This has stirred up q good deal
Of feeling among Protestant ministers, and
last night Rev. DR.. Nichols made some
what sweeping condemnation of the whole
affair from his pulpit. He took special ex-
ception to the Invitation to the ball,
which is contained In q miniature repre-
sentation of the Ark of the Covenant, and
is written side by side with the Ten Com
mandments, He thought this a sacrilig-
ious blunder and shocking prostitution Of
things sacred. He especially denounced
two floats which will appear, one repre-
senting Moses receiving the law and the
other the TRANSPORTATION of Elijah. Sew
eral other ministers in interviews to-day
sustained DR.. Nichols, and the matter has
produced something Of q sensation among
the laity, but IL is said on the authority OF
prominent prophets that the parade viii
not be changed and that no floats will be
taken from the procession.

dent and party, consisting of himself and
Mrs. Clevelsno, Secretary Bayard and Col.
end Mrs. Lamont, arrived in Washington
from Philadelphia about 3 O'Clock this
morning in the special Car of President

Tne President and Mrs. Cleveland went to
the White House, where they remained
until this afternoon when they rode out

DUBLIN, September 19.-At Mitchells.
town to-day the Coroner resumed his in
quest over the bodies of those slain during
the recent conflict between the police and
people. Sergeant Kirwin, of the constabu-
larry, deposed that buckshot was fred from
the barrack windows to defend the police
men who were endeavoring to get into the
barracks, When the police reached the
barracks door they could not get in, the
door being blockaded. Helpen ordered the
firing, seeing that his own life and the
lives of the constables were endangered.
Since he became policeman his lite was
never before in more danger. After two
rounds of buckshot had been fired there
was one round of ball cartridge fired. He
was sure that the shots struck somebody.
Mr.. Timothy Harrington, Secretary of the
Irish National League, in the course of the
examination denounced the witness as
murderer. The crown counsel protested
against the use of such language, and Mr..
Harrington answered: "The Jury will also
call him murderer"

Mexican Politics,

CITy OF MEXICO. September 19.-The
bitter anti clerical tone of FL Combate is
attra citing much attention, and as Ii ex-
pressed the sentiment OF the military
leaders in the recent controversy regarding
the conduct of Macmillan at Queretaro, il
has served to bring the Liberal and Clerical
parties into hostile attitude. The patri-
otic celebrations last week were made more
than commonly enthusiastic TO express
the unity of the Liberal party in sustain
ing the present administration. The
CIerlcals charge that the Liberal leaders
have stirred up the recent controversy for
the purpose of uniting their party. The
reelection eff PresIdent Diaz is now dis
tinctly foreshadowed, and the politicians
are trimming their sails to catch favor
ing breeze. The Mexican Financier advo-
Gates strongly the formation of joint in
ternatioDal tribunal of arbitration between
Mexico, the United States and England, 30
that the irritating questions continually
arising especially on the border, may be
settled on grounds of equity. This is pro.
posed in the belief that the United States
and England will enter into some such ar
raDgements.

ger, in an address to the officers of his COM
mand. after maneuvers by his corps at
Clermont-Fe Ferrand Yesterday, strongly
urged the necessity of giving q wider
exercise of offensive tactics which were
proper to the French army. he concluded
his remarks as follows: I'VE have to-day
more need than ever of the qualities of
warrior. No, the hour has not yet struck
for the disarmment of the peoples of old
Europe. It Is madness to believe 1t, a
crime to say it, for it points to peace at

should aspire and our enemies-who often

We do ourselves-know we'll that we have
not got as far as that. More than ever, we

The Seizure of ALASKAN seslers-Bayard

The Seizure of Alaskan sesIers-Bayard
Annoyed at Unnecessary CriticisDis. 4
WASHINGTON, September 1S.-With re-
gard to the statements published to-day al
leging that Secretary Baysrd had tele-
Rraphed Ibis officers" in Alaska to release
the seized sealers and that the order had
not been executed because the Alaskan
official was not sure of the authenticity Of
the order, Secretary Bayard said tonight
that the dispatch showed its incorrectness
on its face. Alaska is part of the United
States and consequently the State Depart
ment has no officers whatever there as it
has in foreign countries. all its knowl-
edge of Alaska affairs comes through other
departments of the Government, The
Secretary of State would give no order to
an Alaskan official nor receive iuformati0n
from one except through the head of an
other department.
With reference to that part of the dis
patch and of other dispatches which allege
that the release of the seized seslers had
been ordered, the Secretary made the fol-
lowing explicit denial OF any kno Kledge
of any such order:

LOUISVILLE RACES.


Opening of One of the Most Successful
FAN MeetioRs Ever Held.
LOUISVILLE, September 49, The fall
meeting OF the Louisville Jockey Club
opened to-day under the most favorable
circumstances. The weather. though
pleasant, was threatening, but not enough
so to prevent large attendance. The full
fields rendered the results exceptionally
uncertain, and the betting was lively.
The racing was exciting, and with the large
number OF horses at the track, the prospect
is that 1t will surpass in interest the sport
during the spring meeting. The time, con-
sidering the condition .of the track, was
good.
General James Robinson, ,:of Lexington;
Captain James franklin, of Gallatin,
Tenn, and Colonel M. Lewis Clark occu-
pied the judges stand. The event of the
day, the bluegrass stakes, q three fourth
mile dash for two-year-olds, was won by a
son of Ten Brock, Harper's Patton, who
took 1t readily from big field. The pref
lest race of the day was the last, in which
Fosteral and Sour Mash barely escaped a
dead heat, the former winning by a nose.
Altogether the meeting promises to be one
Of the most successful ever held here.

Secretary Bsyard Can Find no Ground for
Asking for His Sure ndsr.
His Leaving in 3 Foreign Owned Vessel
Does Not Alter the Situation.
Great Britain in no Way Responsible for the
Action Of Leonard st. John.
A Residence of Ten Years Subject to United
States Law Places Him in Different
lPosition-The Report.

WASHINGTON, September 15-The Score
tary of State finds no proper grounds upon
which to demand the extradItion of Nc
Garigle. The following is the substance of
Mr.. Bayard's report to the President on
the SUBJECT:
To the President
In compliance with your request of the
7th inst, for a report on the question
whether, considering the facts presented,
tending to show that the scheme for the
escape of William ]. McGarigle, fugitive
from the justice ofthe United States In ths
Dominion of Canada, whose extradition is
desired by the authorities of the State of
Illinois, was concocted by foreigners and
carried out by them by means of foreign
vessel, there are not grounds upon
which to ask for his surrender by the
British Government, have the honor to
state that after a careful examination of
the papers submitted, l am unable to dis
cover in them any ground upon which q
demand by the Government ef the United
States upon that of Great Britain for the
surrender of the accused could be based.
The report continues: The first and
principal British subject alleged to have
been concerned In the escape, and by
whom ii was planned, was one Leonard
st. John, who has resided in the United
States for, perhaps more than ten years
and held position in the hospital of
which McGaIigle was warden. 1t thus
appears that the said st. John, although q
British subject, was long prior to the time
of the acts complained Of, within the ex-
elusive jurisdiction of the United States,
and answerable generally to its laws and
not to those of Great Britain. for any Of
fenses he might commit at his place of resi-
dence. The Government of Great Britain
was in DO way responsible for his alleged
criminal conduct 1t is clear that the
British ownership of the vessel on which
McGarigle escaped, affords no ground for
demanding his surrender.
6 1t is proable that majority of the fugi.
tive criminals from the United States who
in recent years have found refuge beyond
the seas, l ave escaped in foreign owned
vessels, but this is not known ever to have
been ground for asking the extradition
of fugitive. Even IL the vessel in which
the criminal fees should be foreign man
of war-a national vessel-this is not re-
garded ss valid ground for claiming
surrender" The secretary adds that Nc
Garigle's return cannot be asked on
grounds of comfy, because such comfy
could not be reciprocated, not being within
treaty stipulation.

brought by the Government against him
in connection with E. L. Harper, Briggs
Swift, Ammi Baldwin, and the Directors,

sibly Miss Josie Holmes, and he charges
Harper with the whole responsibility. He

for Favoring Them.

State Attorney Crime Can See No Reason
for Favoring Them.
CHICAGO, September 1S.-State Attorney
Grinnell returned from the East to-0ay
and in an interview regarding the Anar
chists case said: "The decision of the Su
preme court could not haYe been a sur
prise to any one familiar with the facts
and law in the case. The testimony was
conclusive as to guilt, the trial according
to law, the Jury intelligent and non-par
tisan, and the rulings and judgment of
the court agreeable to the law. 1t showed
that the Supreme court musthave affirmed
as it did and furthermore do not think
the supreme court of the United States
will grant writ on the case"
On being asked If he would sign petit
ton for commutatlon OF the sentence to
imprisonm ent for life be said: $50 far as
my Office is concerned my duty in the An
archist cases is ended. We have nothing
further to do. have no recommendations
to make and do not expect to sign any let
ter of recommendation to the Governor
for Communication of sentence OF any An
archist, but shall do nothing to prevent
the friends of the defendants seeking relief
from the Governor, nor throw any straw
or influence In their way. Neither shall
assist them.
"After the rendition of judgment did
say and now repeat that the conduct of
Schwab and Fielden during the trial and
while addressing the court before the sem
tence was commendable. They did not
abuse the law, were respectful to
the court and did not bHathe
vengeance and revenge as did the others,
but can see no way in which the cases
can be separated. The matter is now with
the Governor and friends of the defend
ants. hate to see the expressions of senti-
ment and hate and revenge on the part OF
the friends Of the defendants in New York
and elsewhere, because 1t will leave the
defendants here very little chance for an
impartial hearing by the Governor"

lieve any international complications
could result from the conviction of Girl
Pouble by the Cuban authorities. Pouble
was a Cuban who returned to the island
Immediately after obtaining his naturali-
zation papers, and was arrested for insur-
rectionary conduct during the administra-
tion of President Arthur. His case had
been diligently watched under the direc-
tion of the department of State by the
United States consul general to Cuba.
He had excellent counsel and all the
Tinted State could do was to see that he
obtained jnstice nnder the laws OF Spain.

CHICAGO, September 1S.-An the local
labor organizations have been furnished
with copies of the petition Issued by the
amnesty association in behalf Of the con-
demned Anarchists, and IL is claimed that
they are responding promptly and literally
with contributions TO the fund for appeal
ing the case to the Supreme Court. One
large organization has assessed each of its
500 members 81 TO be applied to this fund
and others are said to be following this ex-
ample. The work of raising funds Is being
conducted very quietly and members OF
many of the Unions are cautioned against
speaking Of the matter outside Of their
meetings

great many of them, as individuals. might
enlist themselves in behalf OF the con-
demned men. T. Maggarell, Of the United
Clerks Assembly, sent in a communica-
tion requesting all members of the Trade
and Labor Assembly to deal only with
clerks who were members of their organi.
zation. He says that in this manner they
will force all the clerks to join the Clerks
Assembly, and as no union clerk will
recommend non-union made goods for
sale, they will eventually be able to drive
all that class of goods out Of the market.
The. letter provoked smile from most Of
those present, but one enthusiastic gentle
man was 30 enrsptured with the idea, that
he moved to have the communication read
at every meeting for the next months, and
with burst of applause. The motion was
carried
